No. You're missing the point. The design of the thing is functional. The plan is not to shoot you. The plan is to get the girl. If there's no girl, then the plan, well, is like the room.

Non-Celiac Gluten Sensitivity May Not Exist

I read that earlier. It's not exactly medical news that FODMAPS can cause GI problems, but it's interesting that gluten might just be one of a handful of problematic foods.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

I overheard a student on campus saying something like, "Yeah, I'm tired all the time, and my hair is all dry. Maybe I should stop eating gluten."

My eyes are leaking and so is my nose. Trees! Why you gotta be doing this to me?

I slept in and then dragged myself into work because I have a Situation that needs wrangling.

Neko Case was great last night. And then we went to a bar after to watch the rest of the Blackhawks game. A good evening all around.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

My sinuses are killing me today, but only started after I had been in the office (in air-conditioning and not breathing pollen, presumably) for a couple of hours. I don't get that.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here

There is definitely something wrong with my intestinal system, but every time I read any of the diet things, I don't want to do it. But I possibly should not need to poop 10 times a day.

That...does seem excessive.

Sorry for oversharing. I have always been like this, so when my doctor asked me if there were any changes in my bowel habits, I said no. Then I realized that other people did not do this!

I had to ask a doctor how often a normal middle-aged female is supposed to pee, because all I heard was "are you urinating more often?" This is information we need, people!

Why isn't everyone pelting me with JOY, dammit? - Zenkitty

Sophia, with numbers not quite that high, but still feeling like I was spending all afternoon in the restroom most days, I started a food diary. Which is how I zeroed in on lactose intolerance. Pain in the neck sometimes, but I prefer it to feeling sick all the time. Maybe a food diary would be a not-too-time-consuming place to start?

That is probably a good idea, epic. Also, I am probably exaggerating a bit, and (TMI ahead) I am not sure how to count what feels like the same poop, but is multiple trips to the bathroom
